Chapter 760 He Had Come Searching!

The people in the surroundings also joined in the fun. “Why would the person from Neve publish a notice of a missing person here?”

“I saw it at the door too. It’s everywhere.”

“Probably she’s his kin? Aww, it’s so fortunate for her to have such a man with status to spend a lot of money searching for her. In fact, I saw the notice too on TV!”

Deirdre’s expression stiffened. She almost couldn’t control her expression, yet she couldn’t run away.

Hence, clenching her fists, she asked, ‘What’s stated in the notice? Is it just a simple notice of a missing person?”

The proprietress took a detailed look at it and replied, “It doesn’t seem to go into detail.”

Deirdre nodded her head. When she was leaving the supermarket, she could barely control her expression.

‘Brendan has come searching for me here! He has come here!’

Deirdre walked back to the house feeling weak and shaky. She couldn’t regain her calmness and composure even after a long time she sat on the sofa. When she heard the knocking sound of the door, she was frightened. Her face turned pale as she stared at the door.

She remained scared until she heard the door being unlocked and the voice of Tobey, who came in from the outside with hints of worry on his face. “Deirdre, it’s me.”

She heaved a sigh of relief but couldn’t help but tremble. Biting her lip, she said, “Tobey, Brendan has come searching for me here! He’s found me here! What does he want to do?

Does he want me to go back?” “Calm down, Deirdre.” Tobey comforted her.

“It’s not as bad as you’ve thought. Can you not panic whenever you face anything related to Brendan?”

Deirdre was tense. When she heard Tobey, she gasped and trembled as she closed her eyes. ‘Tobey, he’ll not let us go once he finds us here.”

‘You also know that he’ll do it only once he finds us. Doesn’t this just mean that he doesn’t know? He uses the notice of a missing person to pressure us!” “In that case…”

With her face pale, Deirdre opened her eyes and asked, ” Why would the notice reach here? This is already the most crowded place!” “He should have cast a net all over the place and spent a lot of money to fill up the entire Surstate. Otherwise, how could I see it at the construction site and rush back?”

Deirdre gradually regained her calmness and composure. ‘What’s his purpose?” “Of course, he wants to force us to leave.”

Deirdre suddenly understood. “Shouldn’t he…” ‘Yes. If I didn’t guess it wrong, he should have blocked all the places one can leave Surstate,” assumed Tobey while frowning heavily. “Although it’s quite difficult to find someone in Surstate because it’s surrounded by water, it isn’t a big place.

“Moreover, he is rich and powerful, so it is not difficult to send someone to monitor. If we go out of Surstate because of this, we will fall into his trap.”

Deirdre finally managed to calm down even though her heart was still beating fast.

She began to feel her abdomen was somewhat aching because of the excessive nervousness. She closed her eyes in despair.

“Why? It’s almost been a week, yet he is still unwilling to let me go?”

Didn’t he already have a life of his own?

He was already engaged to Charlene and had a booming career. What else did he want to take away from her?

While patting her back, Tobey said, “Deirdre, don’t worry. It’s actually good news for us today because he only knows that you’re in Surstate, but he doesn’t know where exactly you are. I think you better be careful in these few days and try not to go out.The way he describes you is, in fact, quite detailed.

Fortunately, there are many outsiders here, so no one will suspect you in the meantime.”

“Okay.” Deirdre seemed to have exhausted all her strength. “I don’t plan to go out anymore.”
